The B-pillers on those four doors always effected me the same way as fingernails on a chalkboard..

Very cool truck. I love the nickel plate accessories. I'm sure it's built well but it's hard to justify the $300k pricetag. Buy the 3/4 ton pictured above and spend 15k on a Cummins conversion and be done. Id leave it orginal..

I always thought they were a huge miss too... never made sense to me because the doors look like the fronts, but arent...
 
What I see with that funky B-piller is that they only had to tool up for the rear doors instead of both. Plus, they were able to use the glass and the guts from the front door.

Also, for $300k, I would expect at least Upholstered door panels.

AHHhhhhh, but they are front doors, modified to fit the rear. All the internal parts and glass will interchange with the front. The door was cut shorter and The vent window is deleted. even the interior panel is cut to fit. And the seat cushions and backs will interchange with the front seat.

That is a nice truck, Will.... is that the "spare hauler" if the Admiral is out of service?

The first year or so of the crew cab was a hack done after the fact by an outside contractor, they were later done in house so I can see why they ended up the they they did. I'm a little surprised they never cleaned that up. I have done sketches, you'd think somebody would have done it on a custom.

It was the 60's.
Companies, utilities, and agencies bought trucks to be a truck and get the job done.
Housewives bringing kids to soccer practice weren't buying trucks.
 
We still have some "tugs" with Chrysler Slant 6's we still use to tow aircraft at the Phillip's Air Field on the Proving Ground.
 
No....more like this one. I can't take any pictures at work.

Thanks, Yeah, it could haul the camper if needed. But I prefer the Admiral so that I can load all my "glamping" stuff into a closed compartment.
The crew cab does get called upon for work duty at times.
